Summary:
The Meyerpark Charter district is home to a single school, Meyerpark Elementary, a PK-8 school in Houston, TX, serving 296 students. This school serves a very high-need population, with nearly 96% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, and operates with a student-teacher ratio of 14.3 and spending of $9,604 per student.
The school’s performance is a story of stark contrasts. Its standout strength is in 8th grade math, where 71.43% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year, dramatically outperforming the state average of 47.24%. However, this excellence is not consistent across all grades or subjects. The school struggles profoundly in early elementary math and science; for example, only 8% of 3rd graders were proficient in math in 2025-2026, compared to a 44.33% state average, and just 2.94% of 5th graders were proficient in science in 2024-2025. Reading proficiency is more erratic, generally hovering near the state average in upper grades but falling significantly behind in grades 3 and 4.
Despite these challenges, the school shows a clear positive trajectory. Its state ranking has improved from the 10th percentile to the 20th percentile over two years, driven by remarkable year-over-year gains in middle school math. The school has a 0.0% dropout rate, and the upward trend suggests effective interventions are taking hold, particularly in the math department. The most critical area for improvement remains science, where proficiency rates are alarmingly low across all tested grades, signaling a systemic issue that needs targeted attention.
